Two white doves released by Pope Francis as a gesture of peace were set upon by a crow and a seagull moments after being freed from a window of the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter’s Square. The incident took place on January 26, 2014, as tens of thousands of people gathered below to hear the pontiff speak. Francis had just appealed for peace in Ukraine, where anti-government protesters had d*ed in recent days, urging “the spirit of peace and the search for the common good” to prevail. Two children standing beside him released the doves immediately afterward as a traditional symbol of peace. Within moments, a seagull and a large black crow swept down on the birds. One dove lost feathers as it broke free from the gull, while the crow pecked repeatedly at the other as it tried to escape toward the square. It was not clear what became of either dove as they flew off out of view of the crowd. The Vatican did not alter the annual tradition of releasing doves during the Angelus prayer in the years that followed.

This is what Holy Spirit revealed to me about this event: This was symbolism of the coming war on Ukraine-exposure of the assignment of the enemy, but, also that Christ has the final say which is why the doves escaped-not unscathed, but escaped I heard John 10:10 and Isaiah 22:22 2 children 2 doves 2 predators that come to steal, kill, and destroy Two white doves-represent peace and unity Seagull/Crowe-represent scavengers/omnivores that eat other small birds so this was no coincidence-I believe these birds represent the coming attacks/invasion/war 2 doves-the number two represents unity 2 children releasing doves represent God’s faithfulness to the generations The colors the children wore being red for the blood of Christ and blue for the Holy Spirit The killing of those protestors was actually the start of the war in Ukraine; the date was highlighted to me so I had to look up the timeline of events-protestors killed on 1/22/14 and on 2/22/2014 Ukraine's pro-Russian President, Viktor Yanukovych, was officially stripped of his power by parliament after fleeing the capital. Just 2 days prior to the full invasion, on 2/22/22, Vladimir Putin secured formal parliamentary authorization to deploy military forces abroad and officially recognized separatist territories, setting the final, concrete stage for the assault. The Target of Total Elimination: Intelligence reports later revealed that the enemy’s goal was a swift, 10-day "decapitation" strike to capture the capital city of Kyiv, assassinate the leadership, and completely erase Ukraine’s sovereign existence. THE ENEMY FAILED THEIR 10 DAY DECAPITATION AGENDA! JESUS HOLDS THE KEYS! CHRIST HAS THE FINAL SAY! “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭22‬:‭22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ The Ukrainian people by the grace of God have stood their ground for 12 years. They have been pressed on every side, but, not utterly destroyed. The prayer/dove event happened 12 years ago at the “Apostolic Palace”. That was no coincidence either as 12 is the number of Apostolic Alignment. Only King Jesus is Sovereign! Only King Jesus has the final say. Only King Jesus has the government resting upon HIS shoulders. Only King Jesus has the keys! God has a plan. God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

🙏🏽 PRAYER REQUESTS

Martha Prayer Request

Marthas daughter texted and asked for the community to pray for her . This is what she said. My mom asked that I let you know she is in the hospital. She had been struggling with nausea and not eating or drinking much. I took her to the ER Monday night and they ended up admitting her and transferring her to Montefiore today. They think she may have an abcess. If you could let your church community know, and ask everyone to pray it would be much appreciated.

What Time Is It? 🔥 WE’RE STARTING A 6-DAY ALIGNMENT CHALLENGE

🔥 WE’RE STARTING A 6-DAY ALIGNMENT CHALLENGE ChurcHouse, today we talked about times, seasons and alignment. But we’re not going to leave this as another message we heard. For the next 6 days, I’m going to give you two simple assignments each day to help us apply the Word and ignite growth in our lives. We’re going to: Discern the time. Challenge our normal with Truth. Cut the fat. Check our agreement. Stop fighting the rain. Align—and MOVE. Remember: There is immense strength in alignment; there is only exhaustion in resistance. So let's begin. 🔥 DAY 1 — DISCERN YOUR SEASON 📖 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV) “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…” 1️⃣ NAME YOUR SEASON Take 10 quiet minutes with God today and ask: “What season of life am I personally in right now?” Don't immediately call it good or bad. Don't judge it by how much money you have, whether everything is working, whether your prayers have been answered, or whether life is presently giving you what you want. Just identify it honestly. What season am I actually in? Write it down. 2️⃣ ASK: WHAT SHOULD I DO? The sons of Issachar didn't merely understand the times. They knew what Israel ought to do. Pray: “Lord, give me understanding of the time and season I'm in, and show me what I ought to do within it.” Then listen. Write down what comes to you. Don't try to change the weather today. Recognize what's raining. Tomorrow we'll take the next step. 🔥 DAY 1: DISCERN. If you're participating with us, drop “I'M IN” in the comments. 🏠 Your House — His Temple — Our Mission
